Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello?
Hello?
[Verse 2]
Hey, how you doing?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you
And if you leave a name and your number
We'll get right back to you
You can leave a message now if you want to
When the bleeps are through
[Verse 3]
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
I sure wish you'd hurry home
I think I'm lost and I wanna be found
Feels like I'm wandering round nowhere land
All I'm after
Is to see your sunshine smiling laughter
I feel like calling you
Feel like some contact
I feel like phoning, but I can't get through
[Verse 5]
Hey, how you doing?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you
And if you leave a name and your number
We'll get right back to you
You can leave a message now, if you want to
When the bleeps are through
[Verse 6]
Oh, yeah
Tonight I felt so wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm trapped in a time lock zone
Gonna have to face this on my own
Still gonna wander round that nowhere land
And all I'm holding
Is one side of a silver color coin that is
Silver in appearance, yeah
But it's peanuts in value, I say
Silver in appearance
'Cause I still can't get through
[Verse 7]
Hey, how you doing?
So sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message that's been recorded
Especially for you
[Verse 8]
God knows you
So I decide maybe my time, it ain't so good
And you're playing music loud
Like you should
And how am I gonna clear a line to hear a human say
I won't play
No, I won't play now
I'm gonna play
I'm gonna take this time to find out
Did you get back? I'm gonna say
Oh
Unless I'm in a stone's throw range
Ain't nothing gonna change
[Verse 9]
Hey, how you doing?
I'm sorry you couldn't get through
'Cause this is a message I've been recording
Especially for you
And if you leave a name and your number
We'll get right back to you
You can leave a message if you want to
When the bleeps are through
[Verse 10]
Oh, yeah
I'm gonna get that back
[Verse 11]
I'm gonna play the player
I'm gonna take this chance
I'm gonna find romance
I'm gonna play
(Get right)
Oh, yeah (Get right)
Get right back to you
Oh, yeah
Until then I'm gonna play away, away
Name and number
Take this chance
I'm gonna run and dance
I'm gonna play
Leave your name
